Complete Borderlands 4 Way Too Chill Objectives Guide
1. Starting Location: Way Too Chill
This mission starts in the west of Cuspid Climb. It gets marked on your map when unfogging the area. Look for Defiant Calder who will provide you with the quest details.
2. Find Augur Scout / Reach Path Less Traveled
Head inside the area and use the huts to climb up to the left to reach the mountainside where the marker is guiding you.
Pro Tip: Use your scanner (press up on the D-pad or Z key) to have the navigation line show you the way.
3. Reach Mountaintop
Continue skirting around the mountain until you get to the grate you can climb up. Look above and you will find a grapple point. Pull yourself up here using your grappling ability.
Once at the top, head into the cave and you'll find the Auger scout waiting.
4. Kill Creeps
Shortly after speaking with the scout, a group of creeps will spawn on the platform. Defeat them all to proceed with the mission.
Combat Tip: These creeps are weak to corrosive damage. Use weapons with corrosive elemental effects for quicker elimination.
5. Talk to Auger Scout
After defeating the creeps, speak to the scout again as she walks around the platform. She'll provide you with a power cell needed to progress.
6. Take Power Cell
Take the quest item (power cell) from the scout. This will be essential for activating the machinery ahead.
7. Use Power Cell
From the scout's location, step into the wind current coming from the ground to be lifted up to a climbable wall.
From there, jump over to the left cliff and use the grapple point above to reach a power slot. Insert the cell into it to activate the mechanism.
8. Hack Device
Go over to the device and on the other side you will find a terminal that you can hack.
Hacking Tip: The hacking mini-game requires matching symbols. Take your time to correctly align the patterns.
9. Use Switch
